Abstract

The quantum phase description of Noh, Fougères and Mandel (NFM) leads to a two-mode theory of phase in the strong local oscillator limit. We show that the explicit form of the eigenstates of the sine and the cosine phase operators in two-mode Fock space can be constructed. This brings great convenience to the NFM quantum phase approach.

Two-mode quantum phase

Matthias Freyberger, Martin Heni, Wolfgang P. Schleich

The authors review the operational quantum phase description of Noh, Fougeres and Mandel (1991-3) (NFM) and show that in the strong local oscillator limit it leads us to a two-mode theory of phase. This two-mode description contains the quantum phase of Paul (1993) as a special case. Furthermore this approach connects directly with a generalized and measurable phase space distribution.

THE PROBLEM OF THE TWO-MODE PHASE OPERATORS

LI Hong-cai, 福建师范大学物理系

The Hermitian cosine and sine operators for two particular models of two-mode space are obtained. As they commute, the common eigenstates are constructed. The properties of the operators and eigenvectors are discussed. The expectation values of these operators under the P-B phase representation are also studied.

Intrinsic phase operator of the Noh-Fougères-Mandel experiments

Berthold‐Georg Englert, Krzysztof Wódkiewicz, Peter Riegler

We find the intrinsic Hermitiean phase operator associated with the Noh-Foug\`eres-Mandel apparatus. This is achieved by first identifying the corresponding phasor basis. Previous, alternative approaches are shown to be equivalent. Quantum analogs of trigonometric functions are discussed with the aid of their Glauber and Wigner representations.

Quantum phase and aq-deformed quantum oscillator

Demosthenes Ellinas

The q-deformed quantum oscillator for q=${\mathit{e}}^{\mathit{i}2\mathrm{\ensuremath{\pi}}/(\mathit{s}+1)}$ has reducible representations that admit unitary phase operators. In the classical limit s\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty}, of zero deformation, they provide the phase angles of the ordinary quantum oscillator. The formalism is applied to the master equation of a q-deformed laser mode that is introduced and solved in the steady state and then used to evaluate the statistical moments of the cosine and sine operators.

Phase Probability Density Function in Two-Mode Fock Space

Fan Hong-Yi, Yang Zhen-shan

Based on the newly found representation in which the phase operator corresponding to Shapiro-Wagner phase measurement scheme manifestly exhibits its phase behavior, we construct the phase probability density function in the two-mode Fock space, which provides an alternative approach for analysing the phase properties of optical fields.

Cosine and sine operators related to orthogonal polynomial sets on the interval [−1, 1]

Thomas Appl, Diethard H. Schiller

The quantization of phase is still an open problem. In the approach of Susskind and Glogower so called cosine and sine operators play a fundamental role. Their eigenstates in the Fock representation are related with the Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind. Here we introduce more general cosine and sine operators whose eigenfunctions in the Fock basis are related in a similar way with arbitrary orthogonal polynomial sets on the intervall [-1,1]. To each polynomial set defined in terms of a weight function there corresponds a pair of cosine and sine operators. Depending on the symmetry of the weight function we distinguish generalized or extended operators. Their eigenstates are used to define cosine and sine representations and probability distributions. We consider also the inverse arccosine and arcsine operators and use their eigenstates to define cosine-phase and sine-phase distributions, respectively. Specific, numerical and graphical results are given for the classical orthogonal polynomials and for particular Fock and coherent states.
